This is a guest post written by Stefan P.

It all happened on an April’s Tuesday. Calea Floreasca, the 9th floor in a building.

Three organizations interplaying.

Aquarium passion @ 1&1 Internet

I have been working in this company for almost 5 years, and the first time I came here for the interview, I saw afish in the aquaria @ 1&1 ping-pong table in one of the rooms, where employees could enjoy a break and relax for a while.

The last 5 years confirm my first impression; I still love this environment, the people I work with and the projects that are being developed within the company.

Meanwhile, the Romanian team has grown, and so have the opportunities to enjoy a break, as besides the ping-pong table there is also a foosball table and a Continue reading…
